For example, on the second day of the 1755 Sale Catalogue, lot 36 comprised 'Twelve very fine desart plates, India plants, all different'. The designs were based on plants which appeared in several illustrated botanical books. The design on this plate was derived from Georg Dionysius Ehret (1708-70), 'Plantae et Papiliones Rariores', 1748-62, pl. VI, where the Ketmia or Indian Hemp flowers and foliage are depicted with Iris and Alsine, and a smaller illustration shows the whole plant in a pot. The plant is described below as 'Ketmia Indica foliis digitatis flore magna sulphureo, umbone altro purpureo, pediculis foliorum spinosis. Three drawings by Ehret of Ketmia Indica are dated 1742. reference term-106451 adlib-term-106451 9cdfd62c-ee07-3884-ae08-c797aad08631 18th Century, Mid reference term-107736 adlib-term-107736 e93a8dd1-d76d-320b-be9b-afa352e322a1 George II reference term-110762 adlib-term-110762 92b555c4-d666-3846-a471-77585013d6c6 Red anchor period (1752-1756) reference term-106998 adlib-term-106998 e3be6de7-1089-333e-a2e9-d7165b18816d literal England England country literal Middlesex Middlesex region Chelsea possibly containing tin-oxide reference term-32652 adlib-term-32652 82d8ae3b-f165-395c-ba93-dfa1c282b7be glaze reference term-37637 adlib-term-37637 89b09133-dc0a-3a88-bd40-5aef1ad30ecb soft-paste porcelain Diameter cm 24 Height cm 3.7 reference media-187297 adlib-media-187297 41d088b9-64d9-3ff7-9f0d-ca2bde31aa92 jpeg aa/aa30/C_91_1950_201408_jas244_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1024 width pixels 913 1742596746739 1 image jpeg aa/aa30/mid_C_91_1950_201408_jas244_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 561 width pixels 500 1742596746739 1 image jpeg aa/aa30/C_91_1950_201408_jas244_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1024 width pixels 913 1742596746739 1 image jpeg aa/aa30/preview_C_91_1950_201408_jas244_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 280 width pixels 250 1742596746739 1 image 0 media image reference media-3408974923 portfolio portfolio-media-3408974923 dc34cde7-718c-3b1a-b42e-a7028125e74f jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/432/254/large_C_91_1950_201408_jas244_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 768 width pixels 1024 1529198305000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/432/254/mid_C_91_1950_201408_jas244_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 375 width pixels 500 1529198305000 1 image C.91-1950_201408_jas244_mas.tif 1529198305000 1 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/432/254/preview_C_91_1950_201408_jas244_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 188 width pixels 250 1529198305000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/432/254/C_91_1950_201408_jas244_mas.ptif 1 height pixels 4872 width pixels 6496 1529198305000 1 image 1 media image reference media-3432824058 portfolio portfolio-media-3432824058 7723bf7c-3ed7-3324-9ab2-06a68ef41e20 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/626/505/large_C_91_1950_201408_jas244_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 890 width pixels 1024 1550048575000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/626/505/mid_C_91_1950_201408_jas244_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 434 width pixels 500 1550048575000 1 image C.91-1950_201408_jas244_dc1.jpg 1550048575000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/626/505/preview_C_91_1950_201408_jas244_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 217 width pixels 250 1550048575000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/626/505/C_91_1950_201408_jas244_dc1.ptif 1 height pixels 4872 width pixels 5608 1550048575000 1 image 2 media image reference media-3728305077 portfolio portfolio-media-3728305077 ef397046-5228-3ea3-ad90-0e2410ca1ed4 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/1/48/372/large_C_91_1950_201408_jas244_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 768 width pixels 1024 1695949253000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/1/48/372/mid_C_91_1950_201408_jas244_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 375 width pixels 500 1695949253000 1 image C.91-1950_201408_jas244_mas.tif 1695949253000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/1/48/372/preview_C_91_1950_201408_jas244_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 188 width pixels 250 1695949253000 1 image 3 media image reference term-34935 adlib-term-34935 b6750733-fe79-33fc-b39a-c296fcd223b4 plate soup plate history note unknown before Mrs W.D.
